Zac Poonen · Jun 22, 2015 · 1h 19m

The speaker discusses the importance of understanding the New Covenant established by Jesus, noting that while the Old Testament is not abolished, it offers crucial lessons from history. He emphasizes that God restores what sin has damaged, pointing to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God as the two essential elements for spiritual renewal. True understanding of scripture, especially regarding Christ, comes through the Holy Spirit, not just intellectual study.

Zac Poonen - The Spirit Reveals Jesus through His word - SPC2

Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2015 · 1h 7m

The Holy Spirit is necessary to truly understand scripture, transforming a mere scribe into a disciple who receives life from the Word. The speaker argues that the Old Covenant law, while good, was fundamentally flawed because it could not bring people into a living relationship with God. True fulfillment of God's requirements, especially the tenth commandment against coveting, is only possible through being filled with the Holy Spirit, which empowers believers to live according to the Spirit rather than merely attempting to keep the law.

Filled with the Spirit and with Mercy - Zac Poonen - May, 31 2015

Zac Poonen · Jun 1, 2015 · 1h 3m

The speaker discusses the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that being genuinely born again requires the Spirit's operation, which is distinct from merely being 'filled' with the Spirit. He cautions against self-deception regarding spiritual gifts, noting that the apostles possessed unique authorities (like forgiving sins) that are not replicated today. He advises that the Acts of the Apostles should be treated as historical narrative rather than a source for establishing doctrine, which should instead be derived from the teachings of Jesus and the Epistles.

The speaker emphasizes that spiritual growth requires commitment to a local church family, comparing it to the responsibility of a home rather than the convenience of a restaurant. He warns against spiritual stagnation from only consuming knowledge online or from visiting preachers. Furthermore, he advises believers to use Jesus Christ as a 'spiritual dictionary' when discerning genuine manifestations of the Holy Spirit from deception.

Zac Poonen - The way to possess the life of Jesus

Zac Poonen · May 23, 2015 · 45m

The central message is that true Christian life flows from a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which surpasses adherence to religious rules or laws. The speaker emphasizes that being led by the Holy Spirit, rather than by external rules, is the mark of genuine discipleship.

The speaker analyzes Jesus' life and ministry, emphasizing that his actions, even those performed by others (like the Roman soldiers dividing his garments), fulfilled Old Testament prophecy.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 41 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 12, 2015 · 25m

The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship requires actively doing what Jesus taught, not just knowing it, drawing a parallel between teaching from a blackboard and demonstrating in a river. It contrasts the Old and New Covenants, stressing that the New Covenant grants the Holy Spirit dwelling *within* the believer, a privilege unavailable before. Finally, the speaker cautions against expecting miraculous signs to repeat throughout the Christian era, urging believers to remain unoffended by God's timing or actions.

Zac Poonen · Feb 12, 2015 · 24m

Jesus' life demonstrated that one must be willing to interrupt their plans for those in need, showing that flexibility is key to ministry. The speaker emphasizes that living by the Holy Spirit's guidance, rather than strictly by rules or laws, is the true principle for Christians. Ultimately, believers must be led by the Spirit and emulate Jesus' life of witness, knowing when to accept or reject opportunities.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 27 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 25m

The sermon emphasizes that living by Jesus' high standard, as taught in the Sermon on the Mount, is impossible by human strength alone, requiring divine power. The speaker urges listeners to pray not for material things, but for spiritual transformation—such as the ability to forgive, love enemies, and remain free from anger. True spiritual fullness comes from desiring and asking God for the Holy Spirit, as neglecting to ask means missing out on God's greatest blessings.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 18 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2015 · 25m

The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires understanding everything Jesus taught, focusing specifically on the internal nature of sin like lust and anger. The speaker stresses that overcoming these sins is impossible by human power and requires the genuine fullness of the Holy Spirit, which grants self-control over the tongue and eyes. True freedom comes through radical honesty, confession, and seeking the Spirit's power rather than settling for counterfeit spiritual experiences.

2.We Need The Power Of The Holy Spirit - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2015 · 13m

The central message is that experiencing the Kingdom of God in our lives requires the power of the Holy Spirit, as the Old Testament examples cannot fully manifest heavenly life. The speaker cautions against using the Old Testament to excuse sin and urges the congregation to ask God to fill them with the Holy Spirit so that God's name can be glorified through their lives. This desire for the Spirit's power is presented as the model demonstrated by the early disciples at Pentecost.

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 10m

The sermon emphasizes that following Jesus requires a daily commitment, likened to carrying a cross, which is not merely physical but an inward endurance.

9.Listening To The Voice Of God - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 57m

The central message is the profound privilege of hearing God's voice through the Holy Spirit today, which is superior to the methods used in the Old Testament. The speaker emphasizes that while creation obeys God perfectly, humans often resist His will, making obedience difficult. True discipleship requires immediate and willing submission to what God speaks, resisting the devil's temptation to delay or overthink divine guidance.

9.Worshipping God In Spirit And Truth - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 27m

True worship, as taught by Jesus, must be offered in spirit and truth, a capacity only fully realized after the coming of the Holy Spirit. To worship correctly, one must first confess all sin and be completely surrendered to God's will, free from murmuring or complaint. Ultimately, genuine worship is demonstrated by prioritizing Christ above all earthly possessions, status, or comfort.

7.Be Anxious For Nothing - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 4m

The central message is that believers must obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit immediately, just as the body must obey the head. Jesus' peace is available when we follow His guidance, which is contrasted with the world's spirit controlled by Satan. Consistent obedience in small matters leads to receiving God's word and peace, while disobedience causes us to ignore divine direction.

4.The Obedience Of Faith And Love - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 57m

The central message is the transition from the 'obedience of fear' to the 'obedience of faith.' The speaker argues that Old Testament obedience was often based on fear of punishment, like a child obeying out of fear of spanking. In contrast, the New Testament calls believers to the obedience of faith, which means trusting God's guidance even when the reasons are not fully understood, trusting that God knows what is best for us. This maturity is achieved through the Holy Spirit, moving us from being like children under the law to grown sons under grace.
